Racism and propaganda in the New York Times: Isabel Kershner does her job for Israeli terrorist military

Just look at this headline in the New York Times:  "Missile From Gaza Hits School Bus."  In fact, in the hard copy of the paper in my hand, it says this: Missile from Gaza Hits Israeli School Bus, wounding boy, 16".  That is the big headline in a long article.  You have to read the entire article to learn this:  "Three Palestinian civilians, ages 18, 23 and 25, and one Hamas militant were killed in the Israeli bombing of Rafah in southern Gaza. Another Palestinian man, 50, was killed when a tank shell hit his house east of Gaza City, according to a spokesman for the Hamas government medical services."  New TV correspondent in Gaza, the able Muhammad Al-Madhoun (a Facebook friend), was hit by Israeli missile and there is nothing about that in this lousy article.  If it was an Israeli who was hit by a Palestinian missile, it would have been a front page story in the racist newspaper, the New York Times.  All those criminal propaganda services by New York Times and other Zionist outlets would be remembered, and those Zionist publications and writers would be remembered the way we remember Goebbels and other Nazi propagandists.   (And notice that they could not say "medical or hospital sources" but instead said "Hamas government medical services" in order to cast doubt on the credibility of the information.  Why not say: Terrorist medical services.  It fits within the standards of the times).
